My,how you have changed since post #973 in the Vintage Amp thread !
Good for you,realizing that the Sansui AU 11000 integrated is a great sounding bargain and the Sansui AU 2000 Preamplifier and AU 2000 Power amplifier are even better.
I'm still scouting for a second AU 2000 Power Amp,to get more headroom on the speakers,the AU 2000 Preamplifier has two outputs for two amplifiers and a better volume control than the AU 20000 integrated,plus a separate headphone amplifier built in.
Try separates for a change,I believe you will be pleasantly surprised and they should be no more than a few hundred bucks geater than the integrated total cost,just the preamplifier alone is a kick ass headphone amp with tone controls...you will love it.

What do you mean mono? Gimi the link to that link of my post, i dont remember saying that If i had a darn house, i could have multiple listening spaces, and i could have all TOTL stuff, kinda sidetracking this picture thread, move it over there...

cifani090,check back to the former page here I edited the post.
No,I do not mean mono as in monoblocks but close.
One amplifier is for the left channel and one amplifier is for the right channel but the BA 2000 are intended as stereo amps,so just run each speaker off the respective left and right taps on the amps.
Splitting the load gives you more headroom when you crank the volume,which I tend to do.
That's one reason why a preamplifier with TWO main outputs is useful.

LFF,you,your wife and sister-in-law (with chaparone) are all welcome to dance the night away in front of this system.
Trust me,it is set for all nighters-three amplifiers/three preamplifiers and a reciever hooked on to three speaker sets with an active subwoofer for kicks.
I have a powered signal switch so we can run one set or all three at once.
Even have the Zebra rug for the ladies to barefoot dance.
Nothing brings out the joy like some excellent wine,savoury food,great music and late night dancing...Edited by 5aces - 1/4/12 at 8:15pm

Much obliged,pigmode.
This little camera records an event in a memorable fashion,with nice shots.
Fits into an inner jacket pocket,point and shoot and I believe has much more value than my pair of JH-13's...

LFF-if you read this,does Panasonic have new firmware for the LX5?
